Weekly Reflection

I have spent the last couple of weeks keeping myself updated with the threads, gathering resources and information for my final project, and tweaking my igoogle account. I have continued to look at my facebook account which continues to grow as far as members each day and started to use some of the websites with my classroom. We took a look at the voki website the other day and also ventured into a couple of other websites that I saw in last week's class session. Along with working with these things, I have also been slowly reading Christensen's book. I still have 3 chapters left and I want to complete the reading before you post a thread on the book. I appreciate the workable caseload and guideline for the final paper. This whole class has been an eye opener for me I we were whirl-winded into to it, or at least I was. It has given us access and resources to many websites that we can incorporate into our lessons.

Amy, Tech Masters Program

Hey Amy, I did read that article before you had posted it and I got a chuckle out of it. I did think that same thing you thought as I read it.

Week 4 Reflection

I told myself at the beginning of this program that I would not take the weekends away from my family for schoolwork. Well, this past weekend i did just that. I spent a majority of the weekend working on my strands, playing, and looking for ideas for my final project. And I actually didn't take too much time away from my family since I did take breaks to get some wrestling or pirates or crazy 8 in! I was very pleased with my progress on the strands I made over the weekend, but still find it frustrating at times with my "playing." I thought playtime was supposed to be relaxing and fun. UGH! (: I knew that my time was going to get cut short with baseball games starting this week and I didn't want to feel overloaded when the week started. To be honest with you, I didn't get as much "accomplished" this past week as I did the previous week. My goals for this next week are to create a cloudmap, or whatever that is called, continue to work on a podcast, and work with Diane and Lisa with a hover board for the smartboard. YIKES!

Twitter

Kristin, I do have an account on twitter and I know that Barb has one as well. I tried finding everybody in the cohort when I was looking for frinds on twitter, but only found barb. I should be there.
